Time Flies

I can not believe we are almost half way finished with 2021.  To make matters worse, I’m already looking ahead to the fourth of July when my grandson comes to visit. I have one major chore on the table. Now that we have finally found and fixed the leak, and it has stopped raining, we need to finish cleaning out the pool and get it up and running before the long weekend. My husband is part fish and looking forward to playing with the baby in the pool. Well, at almost two he’s not really a baby anymore!
 
Last year we got him into the pool a time or two but he wasn’t quite old enough to decide what he thought about all that water and PawPaw gliding around with him.  This year he has so much more personality and seems really fond of stomping in puddles and playing with his new water table that I strongly suspect he’s going to love the big pool. We can hardly wait.
 
It’s the next thing this summer I’m looking forward to. After that, I have a handful of friends for over twenty years (boy does that sound old)  from around the country will come together at my house for a long weekend. We’ve been doing this for eighteen years and the first decade or so the reunion was at my house, then the last decade or so it has been at a friend’s house. This year it’s coming back to my house!  Needless to say, we’re going to start a deep clean NOW! Lol.
 
I just know I’m going to blink my eyes and we’ll be planning the Labor Day weekend for my grandson and husband’s birthday. Maybe for next year we’ll have a resurfaced pool! It had been on the schedule for this year but we had to give that up when my mom’s living conditions shifted. The repaired cracks aren’t pretty, but it holds water and that’s all that matters!! 
 
You’re probably thinking what about Father’s Day? For that we’re driving down to visit my daughter for the weekend. We’ll be bringing my mom too and she’ll be staying for a long visit for a couple of weeks. It will be good for her to spend a lot of time with the baby while she still remembers everyone.
​Here’s a photo of my hubby a few years ago on Father’s Day. The grandbaby wasn’t even a twinkle in anyone’s eyes yet. It’s been fun having two dads in the family now!
 
Let’s visit – tell me what do you like about summertime?
